A formulary is the list of prescription drugs covered by a health insurance plan. Health plans, like Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plans, use formularies to outline which medications are covered and how they are tiered in terms of cost. Formularies may change each year, so it’s important to review them during open enrollment.

Help Your Employees Avoid the Most Common Enrollment Mistakes

Most employees spend less than 30 minutes choosing their health insurance each year.

That decision affects their health and finances for the next 12 months.

Here's what tends to go wrong, and what employers can do about it:

1) Employees pick the lowest premium without looking at the deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.

2) They assume their doctors are in-network.

3) They don't check if their prescriptions are covered.

4) They have no idea an insurance advocate exists to help them.

None of this is their fault. Most employees just don't have the information they need to make a good decision.

That's where employers can make a real difference… Not by choosing for them, but by giving them the tools to choose well.

💡Show them a side-by-side plan comparison of plan options.
💡Walk them through a worst-case cost scenario for each plan type.
💡Tell them how to look up their doctors and their prescriptions before they enroll.
💡Make sure they know your broker or benefits team is available to help, not just during open enrollment, but all year long.

Employees who understand their benefits use them better, stress less, and trust their employer more.

Health benefit selection is a communications opportunity. We can help you use that opportunity well.

Urgently Needed Care refers to care received for a sudden illness or injury that requires prompt attention (such as a sprain or acute cold or flu) but isn’t life-threatening. If you are outside your Medicare Advantage Plan’s service area and it’s unsafe to wait until you return home for treatment from an in-network provider, the plan is required to cover the cost of the care.

🌼 Pollinator Garden Tips 🌼

🐝 Want a garden that attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds? A few simple tips to help it thrive:

☀️ Pick a sunny spot — most pollinator plants need 6+ hours of sun daily.

🌸 Plant variety — mix colors, shapes, and bloom times for nectar all season.

🌱 Go native — local flowers feed local pollinators best.

🦋 Skip pesticides — many harm the pollinators you're trying to attract.

💧 Add water for your guests — a shallow dish with stones gives a safe place for pollinators to drink and rest.

🌻 Plant in clusters — groups of the same flower are easier for pollinators to find.

🐛 Include host plants for baby pollinators:
• Milkweed for Monarchs
• Oak and willow for butterflies and moths
• Sunflowers and asters for a variety of pollinators

A little planning turns your garden into a colorful habitat that blooms with life all season! 🌼🐝🦋✨
